Thankful...

I try to keep an attitude of gratitude throughout the year, but in November, at Thanksgiving time, I'm especially aware of the blessings in my life. Here are a few of the things I'm thankful for this month:

The ability to read. This is something I often take for granted, an ability I've had since I was two (according to my parents), but it is a true gift indeed.

Books!

My favorite authors, who have provided me with hours and hours of entertainment and enjoyment over the years.

The fact that my kids love books as much as I do!

Story time before bed. I love sharing books with my boys, reading aloud to them every night.

Libraries -- buildings filled with books that I can borrow and read for free!

Sunday evenings at the bookstore, where I can sit down with a book and a hot chocolate for an hour and a half, immersing myself in a story.

A love of writing.

Time to write.

Friends and family members who are willing to read what I've written and proofread it.

All the people who support me, believe in me, and encourage me to keep following my dreams....
